So weirdly the leaks about the finale were partially true, but also wrong for the second half of the episode so wtf? Did Kripke leak them himself so he could pull a Rian Johnson swerve or something? Anyways it's over now and yeah no way am I invested enough to watch any of the spinoffs they have planned so that's it for me. Well done Amazon I mean JFC you got HBO, Netflix and Disney around on examples on what NOT TO DO with your most popular series/franchise and you still go full retard anyways. But hey these streaming services know better every time of course huh?

Even if homelander would have lost his powers wouldn't he still be physically strong it takes 2 punches to finish him lmao he could have also escaped in 2 seconds and the deep was killed by a regular octopus and oh father was killed by someone holding a ball gag over his mouth the logical outcome would have been that the plastic ball explodes and kill hughie not his face exploding

Kripke was all "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK JUST END IT ALREADY" basically so the villains were killed off in pathetic and unsatisfying ways.

Reshoots possibly.

A lot of leaks are taken from scripts and early-mid production edits so it's not uncommon for leaks that were accurate at one point to become less so (if not outright incorrect) by the time the actual thing comes out.

If leaks come out and are only partially correct it's safe to assume that there were changes made midway through production.

Seth Rogan just did that whole speech about how if you use AI at all in your writing you shouldn't be allowed to write and then gives us a series final that is so bad people wish it was written by AI.

Just based on the meme clips and seeing three episodes of this show on an airplane I have to say if I really wanted revenge on Homelander I would have let him live without his powers since it seems to me he never figured out who he is without his powers, so that would be worse for him than dying.

Yeah, look at Sauron in The Lord of the Rings for a perfect example of how to write a villain well. Everything he does is wrong but you respect his inelegance and it gives him a sense of danger and you also understand why he did the things he did.

Look at Lex Luthor in the Superman and JL cartoons, so much better written than any villain in this "adult" show.
